So what should Superdelegates base their vote on? Popular or Delegate vote? State or national?

[mondo joe]

Should Superdelegates use their vote to enforce the popular or elected delegate votes? And of their state, or of the nation?

Consider scenarios such as:

If Candidate X has the national lead, but candidate Y has more votes in the Superdelegate's state, should she vte to reflect the national or state vote?

If Candidate X gets more elected delegates nationally, but Candidate Y had more individual votes, should the Superdelegates "correct" the situation for voting for Candidate Y?

1. Would anyone care to explain their choice?

2. They are charged with casting their vote

for the person who they believe will be the best nominee and the best president.

That is what they should do.

3. just curious

is that written anywhere?
not a snark or anything I'm genuinely curious if there are any guidelines in place on how super delegates are charge with casting their vote.
I do know that they aren't set in stone, an endorsement or 'pledge' from a super delegate at this point means squat, they're free to change them as they see fit so the idea of counting them now seems a bit pointless.
